"This is beautiful when cut, all the layers and colors of the jello. It helps at it taste good, too. Very refreshing. For the 4th of July I have done red, white and blue, then cut it with star shaped cookie cutter. Enjoy!!! Great hit at church pot lucks!!!"

I have been making this salad for years! My family loves it and it is a 'must have' for Christmas. I use stawberry, lime, lemon and cherry in that order.
